Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Ogden, UT
Commercial air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the structure, with daily moisture-meter readings logged for your insurer. Structural drying brings building materials back to a documented dry standard using air movers and dehumidifiers rather than surface evaporation alone. Moisture readings are logged through the process so the substrate, not just the surface, is confirmed dry before anything is rebuilt.

Frequently asked questions
It has not rained and the basement is wet in May. Where is it coming from?
From the canyon. Snowmelt in Ogden Canyon and on the Wasatch face moves through alluvium and arrives under the city days later as a higher water table. The rain gauge can be quiet while the wall is taking water that fell as snow a thousand feet up.
The house is on the bench, well above the Weber. Same May problem?
A different one. Elevation spares you the delayed water table on the lake plain, but a bench lot is a catchment for the lot below it, and melt runs along the uphill wall. You trade a groundwater problem for a shedding problem.
The brick is from the 1960s and has always felt cool and damp. Tolerance?
Cool is the clay; damp is the missing drain. Tile laid against lake-bottom clay in that era rarely still functions, so moisture against the wall is a plumbing failure of the original drainage, not a property of brick. Interior paint will not restore a collapsed tile line.
